FishScience Axolotl Pellets

Fish Science Axolotl Food is a specialist sinking pellet diet formulated around the natural insect-based feeding habits of axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum). Suitable for juveniles and adults alike, it is available in two sizes to suit different colony numbers and feeding regimes.

Insect-Based Formula

The diet centres on Black Soldier Fly and Mealworm as primary protein sources, closely reflecting what axolotls encounter in the wild. This insect-led approach supports natural digestion and provides a nutritional profile that fish-meal-only diets cannot replicate.

Pellet Specification

• 4mm slowly sinking pellets — ideal for axolotls that feed mid-column or at the substrate
• High protein formulation: 47% protein, 11% oil, 3% fibre, 3.5% moisture, 4% ash
• Fortified with Vitamins A, D3, C, and E, plus L-Lysine and DL-Methionine for complete nutrition
• Contains Kelp and Haematococcus pluvialis — a natural astaxanthin source supporting colouration and antioxidant intake

Full Ingredient Composition

Insect meal (Black Soldier Fly, Mealworm), Herring meal, Whole wheat, Wheat germ, Salmon oil, Pea, Yeast, Kelp, Carrot, Haematococcus pluvialis, Tocopherol, Rosemary. Preserved naturally with Tocopherol (30mg/kg) and Rosemary (22mg/kg).

Feeding Guidelines

• Juvenile (up to 6 months): Feed once daily — offer as much as your axolotl will consume within 15 minutes, then remove uneaten pellets
• Adult (6 months and older): Feed 3–5 pellets per animal every other day; remove any uneaten food promptly

With a clearly defined feeding schedule and a nutrient-dense formula, Fish Science Axolotl Food takes the guesswork out of axolotl nutrition. Choose the pack size that suits your setup from the options above.
